[R] Batch importing data with respective naming

[Taylor Hermes]

I'm trying to import data from 100 text files and create data frames
that reflect their numbering.

The slow way would be to do the following:

peak1 <- read.table("1--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE)
peak2 <- read.table("2--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE)
peak3 <- read.table("3--peak--hist.txt", sep=",", header=TRUE)
...

I tried the following:

for (i in 1:100) {
	peak[[i]] <- read.table(paste(i,"--one--hist.txt", sep=""), sep=",",
header=TRUE)
}

I receive an error saying "object 'peak' not found, which leads me to
believe R is trying to look in 'peak' at to whatever position 'i' has
iterated.

How can I create these data frame objects with the numbering to match
the input text files?  That is to match the iterated 'i' of the loop?

Thanks for your help!
